Ukrainian brewers came out in the “plus” for the first time in nine years

After Ukraine sharply increased the export of beer, the foam drink market in the country for the first time since 2009 stopped falling. Thus, according to a study by the global company Nielsen, in the 12 months of 2017, Ukraine consumed 1.8% more beer than in 2016 (in the previous year, a decline of 7.1% was recorded), UBR reports.

The beer market in 2017 grew by 0.1% – to 164.5 million decaliters. However, the industry association “Ukrpivo” reported that beer production in 2017 decreased by 0.6% – to 178 million decaliters. However, already in the first two months of 2018, Ukraine produced 19.4 million decaliters of beer, which is 3.4% more than in the same period in 2017
